Document Summary

Lecture 17: regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Transcription initiation control by transcription factors: general transcription factors (gtfs) Bind to core promoter region (tata box) recruit rna polymerase. Dna binding domain + activation domain: bind distal enhancer sequences. Coactivators couple action of activators and gtfs: coactivators. Does not bind directly to dna- couples activator to gtfs: stimulate transcription of gene up to ~100 fold. Repressors inhibit activation of transcription initiation: block function of activator. Recall lac repressor blocked promoter, this does not happen in eukaryotes: can block through interaction with activation domain with repression domain, repressor binding site may overlap with activator binding site, can recruit corepressors (analogous to coactivators) Dna sites bound by repressors are called silencers. Given that several different genes may contain the same types of promoter and enhancer elements, & many of the proteins that bind these elements contain the same structural features,
